Fraser River Bench Development Up for Public Input
By 250 News
Here is the draft plan for the Fraser River Bench development.
Tonight at 7, Gladstone School will be the site where neighbours, developers and City Staff will meet to talk about the subdivision plan that has some neighbours concerned.
Fortwood Homes and the Roman Catholic Church hope to develop the 106.52 hectare site into a neighbourhood for 2200 people.
The plan calls for a mix of land uses, residential single family through to higher density and strata homes. There is an allotment for neighbourhood commercial, institutional( school) and, according to the proposal , "extensive parkland greenspace and trail networks."
Neighbours concerned about the development have sent some letters to City Hall already, expressing concerns over increased noise from the BCR site once trees have been removed, loss of greenspace, traffic concerns on Cowart Road and concerns of reduced property values once the park like setting has been changed to a major development.
The complete project plan (88 page report) is availabe on the City's website. This evening's session will start with a presentation from L&M Engineering which is acting on behalf of the developers.

On the other hand there were 200 houses planned for Aberdeen Golf Course 10 years ago, and I think they now have approx 15 to 20 houses built. Of that total 10 were Spruce King raffle homes. When you look at the development that is supposedly going to take place at the PG Golf Course, some development already started across from Westgate, the proposed developments at 6th and Victoria, 5th and Quebec and 2nd and Quebec. Plus some others that I cant recall at this time, I would suggest that someone is being a little over optomistic.
